Handbook of nutrition, diet and sleep / edited by Victor R. Preedy, Lan-Anh Le, Vinood B. Patel.

Emerging literature and research have currently shown that sleep, sleep disturbances, diet and nutrition are interlinked in numerous ways. For example, sleep deprivation alters food intake and snacking behaviour. On the other hand, dietary restriction and obesity alter sleep. Specific nutrients such...
